Good Vibrations in Notting Hill
Installed at 284 Westbourne Grove, Good Vibrations is a window vinyl I created as part of Kensington and Chelsea’s High Street Windows project. Featuring the Pink Bear in a forest of colour, the work explores isolation, reconnection and emotional recovery after lockdown.

72 Hours in Australia
In early 2018, I fly to Sydney for just 72 hours to shoot a new series with the Pink Bear for Daisy Green’s flagship Soho restaurant. No jet lag, no downtime — just sunrise to sunset shoots across Bondi and the city. The result is a bold, fast-paced commission I’m proud to now see hanging at Scarlett Green.
